A third suspect in the March 9 fatal shooting of a Xavier University freshman has been jailed, according to the New Orleans Police Department. Investigators on Friday booked Alex Lewis, 20, with one count of second-degree murder in the death of 19-year-old Bertrand Dezara III.

An affidavit filed in New Orleans Criminal District Court said a witness told police that Hawkins, Lewis and Bryer went into an apartment in the 5100 block of Bundy Road where Bryer lived and Dezara was visiting on the day of the murder. Lewis and Hawkins soon left with Dezara, who appeared to be distressed and leaving against his will, the affidavit said.

Gunshots erupted within moments, the affidavit said. Dezara was found dead in a nearby courtyard; his body had several bullet wounds.

Dezara planned to graduate from Xavier in 2016 with a degree in biology and a minor in sports medicine, his family has said. He wanted to eventually become a sports doctor.

Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Lewis on April 10 after a witness identified him from a photographic line-up as one of Dezara's killers. Lewis, whose bail was set at $500,000, remained in custody Monday.

So did Bryer and Hawkins, whose respective bails were set at $200,000 and $500,000. If convicted, all three suspects would receive mandatory life sentences.
